Business Overview

We have grown through the acquisition of highly specialized regional IT consulting companies. We provide our customized advanced technology-based products and solutions through three business segments operated principally through eight wholly-owned operational entities. Our customized advanced technology-based solutions enable organizations to deploy fully compliant solutions in accordance with government requirements and the demands of the commercial marketplace.

Our expertise lies in the following three business segments: Telecommunications Management, Cybersecurity Managed Solutions, and Consulting Services and Products. These segments offer unique solutions and proprietary IP-based wireline and wireless full life cycle management service solutions and; cybersecurity solutions with an expertise in identity management assurance and data protection services utilizing certificate-based security solutions delivered via WidePoint's trusted cloud mobility managed services environment; and are supported by other associated IT consulting services and products in which the Company provides specific subject matter expertise in including but not limited to IT Architecture and Planning, Software Implementation Services, IT Outsourcing, and Identity Assurance and Forensic Informatics. WidePoint has eight operational entities, which specialize in providing the following products and services:

§ Telecommunications Management - iSYS LLC ("iSYS") and WidePoint Solutions Corp.
("WSC") specialize in telecommunications management solutions, characterized by comprehensive wireless environment managed services contracts to a number of large US federal agencies. It also specializes in forensic informatics, and Identity Assurance development services to both the public and private sectors.

§ Cybersecurity Managed Solutions - Operational Research Consultants, Inc. ("ORC") specializes in cyber security solutions with a focus on IT integration and secure authentication processes and software, and providing services to the federal government. ORC has been at the forefront of implementing PKI technologies. PKI technology uses a class of algorithms in which a user can receive two electronic keys, consisting of a public key and a private key, to encrypt any information and/or communication being transmitted to or from the user within a computer network and between different computer networks. We believe PKI technology has emerged as the technology of choice to enable security services within and between different computer systems utilized by various agencies and departments of the federal government. Advanced Response Concepts Corporation ("ARCC"). specializes in providing identity assurance and priority resource management solutions, crime scene management and information protection, and other activities related thereto; and the development, maintenance, enhancement and provision of software, services, products and operations for identity management and information protection, which are offered primarily to state and local government agency markets. Protexx Technology Corporation ("Protexx"), which is a development stage company, specializes in identity assurance, and encrypted mobile and wireless data-in motion protection products and services.

§ Consulting Services and Products - Our various subsidiaries provide IT consulting services and products to both commercial and federal government customers. Our commercial consulting services are predominantly offered by our Widepoint IL subsidiary (in conjunction with WidePoint NBIL) in the Midwestern regional area and can cross-sell various services of our other operating subsidiaries. Our federal government consulting and product services are offered by all of our operating subsidiaries. These services include a variety of IT related services and products.

For additional information related to our business operations and segments see Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the description of our business set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2012.

Revenue Concentrations and Considerations

We remain focused on continued retention and expansion of services to our existing customer base and attracting new customers in the government and commercial sectors. The majority of our revenues for 2011 were derived from contracts and projects with U.S. federal government agencies and U.S. federal government contractors. Historically, we have derived, and may continue to derive in the future, a significant percentage of our total revenues from a relatively small number of clients. At the end of fiscal 2011, we increased our reach in the commercial sector with the acquisition of the assets of Avalon Global Solutions ("AGS").

Due to the acquisition of the assets of AGS, our 2012 consolidated revenue and receivable base is better diversified between government and commercial clients. We intend to continue to cross-sell additional services to AGS's existing customer base and leverage our existing customer relationships to reach new customers worldwide. We are continuing to actively search out new synergistic acquisitions that we believe may further enhance our present base of business and service offerings.

Sources of Significant Operational and Administrative Expense

A significant source of operational costs consists of salaries and benefits paid to our technical, marketing and administrative personnel as well as payments to technical subcontractor labor and vendor-related costs in connection with our Communications Management segment. Expansion of our internal growth initiatives and merger and acquisition opportunities will increase our operational costs and may require additional investments in technology infrastructure and personnel. Our profitability also depends upon both the volume of services performed and the Company's ability to manage costs. To date, the Company has attempted to maximize its operating margins through efficiencies achieved by the use of its proprietary methodologies, and by offsetting increases in consultant salaries with increases in consultant fees received from its clients. The uncertainties relating to the ability to achieve and maintain profitability, obtain additional funding to partially fund the Company's growth strategy, and provide the necessary investment to continue to upgrade its management reporting systems to meet the continuing demands of the present regulatory changes affect the comparability of the information reflected in the financial information presented above.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 as Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

Revenues. Revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 increased approximately 26% to approximately $12.5 million, an increase of $2.5 million as compared to approximately $10.0 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. This increase was a result of revenue growth in our Telecommunications Management and our IT Consulting Services and Product segments which were materially driven by additional revenues generated by the acquired customers of AGS and revenue increases attributable to the rising demand for our credentialing services that are being driven by mandates requiring credentials to be utilized for access to certain federal government sites and programs.

Our segment revenue quarterly comparison is set forth below:

§ Our Telecommunications Management segment revenue increased to approximately $7.5 million, an increase of approximately $1.3 million (or 22%) for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to approximately $6.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to additional revenues generated from customers from the asset acquisition of AGS that was completed on December 31, 2011, partially offset by lower amounts of revenue generated from billable reselling of minutes to our federal customers as we shift away from lower margin services. We continue to believe that growth in our commercial and state initiatives augmented by continued federal expansion will allow us to meet our overall growth objectives for higher margin Telecommunications Management services.

§ Our Cyber Security Managed Solutions segment revenue decreased to approximately $1.1 million, a decrease of $1.2 million (or 51%) for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to approximately $2.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. This decrease was materially due to the award of a credentialing sale that was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2012. We continue to believe that growth in support of all of these efforts, along with the expansion of the federal mandates and programs in 2012 will support our overall growth objectives.

§ Our IT Consulting Services and Products segment revenues were approximately $3.9 million, an increase of $2.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $1.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. The increase was materially due to growth in both our commercial and government operations further augmented from reselling of mobile devices and accessories to customers added from the asset acquisition of AGS. Future performance and the continuity of growth may prove erratic from period to period given the nature and variability of the products and services we offer.

Cost of Sales.Cost of sales for the three month period ended June 30, 2012, was approximately $9.6 million (or 77% of revenues), as compared to approximately $7.3 million (or 73% of revenues) for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. This increase was caused by a lower mix of sales of higher margin services in our CyberSecurity Managed Solutions segment as compared to our other segments. We anticipate that our cost of sales will trend lower as we recognize a greater portion of revenue in the future from higher margin services.

Gross Profit.Gross profit for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $2.9 million (or 23% of revenues), as compared to approximately $2.7 million (or 27% of revenues) for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. In future periods, we anticipate gross profit as a percentage of revenues to increase as cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreases due to a greater mix of higher margin services. We believe as revenues expand in the future there will be periods of variability in margin growth associated with changes in our segments revenue mix.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $876,000 (or 7% of revenues), as compared to approximately $385,000 (or 4% of revenues) for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. Sales and marketing program expense includes direct marketing costs and commission payments to commercial business channel partners, which accounted for a significant portion of the increase in our sales and marketing costs.

General and Administrative.General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 were approximately $2.4 million (or 19% of revenues), as compared to approximately $1.9 million (or 19% of revenues) for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. The acquisition of the assets of AGS accounted for a significant portion of the increase in our general and administrative costs. The remaining portion of the increase is attributable to project-based internal efforts to optimize future quarters' operational capacity.

Depreciation.Depreciation expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $79,000, as compared to approximately $59,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. The increase in depreciation expense was due to increased pool of depreciable assets to support our technology solutions infrastructure. We anticipate additional infrastructure investments in our Corporate, Telecommunications Management and Cybersecurity Managed Solutions segments to purchase of equipment in support of new revenue streams that will impact future depreciation expenses.

Interest Income.Interest income for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $1,300, as compared to approximately $2,500, for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. This decrease was due to lower amounts of invested cash and cash equivalents in interest bearing accounts. We do not anticipate any material changes in trends in our interest income for the near-term as a result of continuing low short-term interest rates presently payable by financial institutions.

Interest Expense.Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $118,000 (or 1% of revenues), an increase of approximately $99,000 as compared to approximately $19,000 (or less than 1% of revenues) of interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to higher expenses associated with the indebtedness incurred in connection with the acquisition of AGS.

Income Taxes.Income tax benefit for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $300,000, as compared to an income tax expense of approximately $152,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. The income tax benefit recognized in the three month period ended June 30, 2012 reflects changes in the timing and amount of the use of net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future taxable income.

Net Income (Loss).As a result of the factors above, the net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $302,000 as compared to net income of approximately $214,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2011.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 as Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

Revenues. Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 increased to approximately $26.2 million, an increase of approximately $5.7 million (or 28%) as compared to approximately $20.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. This increase was a result of revenue growth in our Telecommunications Management and our IT Consulting Services and Product segments which were materially driven by additional revenues generated by the acquired customers of AGS and revenue increases attributable to the rising demand for our credentialing services that are being driven by mandates requiring credentials to be utilized for access to certain federal government sites and programs.

Our segment revenue quarterly comparison is set forth below:

§ Our Telecommunications Management segment revenue increased to approximately $14.8 million, an increase of approximately $3.0 million (or 26%) for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to approximately $11.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to additional revenues generated from customers from the asset acquisition of AGS, partially offset by lower amounts of revenue generated from billable reselling of minutes to our federal customers as we shift away from lower margin services. We continue to believe that growth in our commercial and state initiatives augmented by continued federal expansion will allow us to meet our overall growth objectives for higher margin Telecommunications Management services.

§ Our Cyber Security Managed Solutions segment revenue decreased to approximately $3.3 million, a decrease of $0.3 million (or 7%) for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to approximately $3.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was due to delays in the roll out of certain state government solutions. Overall we believe that revenue growth will continue to be realized over an annual basis as rising demand for our credentialing services for our ECA, ACES, PIV-I and other credentialing services that are being driven by mandates requiring credentials to be utilized for access to certain federal government sites, continued expansion in support of the Transportation Workers Identification Credentialing (TWIC) program, continued support and rollout of additional work with various states in support of our first responders initiatives, and other credentialing initiatives progress.

§ Our IT Consulting Services and Products segment increased to approximately $8.1 million, an increase of $2.9 million (or 56%) for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $5.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The increase was due to growth in both our commercial and government operations further augmented from reselling of mobile devices and accessories to customers added from the asset acquisition of AGS. We continue to believe that we will witness moderate growth in this segment given the nature and variability of the products and services we offer. Future performance and the continuity of growth may prove erratic from period to period.

Cost of Sales.Cost of sales for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $20.0 million (or 76% of revenues), as compared to approximately $16.0 million (or 78% of revenues) for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. This increase was caused by a lower mix of sales of higher margin services in our CyberSecurity Managed Solutions segment as compared to our other segments. We anticipate that our cost of sales will trend lower as we recognize a greater portion of revenue in the future from higher margin services.

Gross Profit.Gross profit for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $6.2 million (or 24% of revenues), as compared to approximately $4.5 million (or 22% of revenues) for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. In future periods, we anticipate gross profit as a percentage of revenues to increase as cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreases due to a greater mix of higher margin services. We believe as revenues expand in the future there will be periods of variability in margin growth associated with changes in our segments revenue mix.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $1.5 million (or 6% of revenues), as compared to approximately $815,000 (or 4% of revenues) for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. Sales and marketing program expense includes direct marketing costs and commission payments to commercial business channel partners, which accounted for a significant portion of the increase.

General and Administrative.General and administrative expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 were approximately $4.9 million (or 19% of revenues), as compared to approximately $3.7 million (or 18% of revenues) for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The acquisition of the assets of AGS accounted for a significant portion of the increase in our general and administrative costs. The remaining portion of the increase is attributable to project-based internal efforts to optimize future quarters' operational capacity.

Depreciation.Depreciation expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, was approximately $139,000, as compared to approximately $106,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The increase in depreciation expense was due to increased pool of depreciable assets to support our technology solutions infrastructure. We anticipate additional infrastructure investments in our Telecommunications Management and Cybersecurity Managed Solutions segments to purchase of equipment in support of new revenue streams that will impact future depreciation expenses.

Interest Income.Interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, was approximately $3,200, as compared to approximately $6,700, for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. This decrease was due to lower amounts of invested cash and cash equivalents in interest bearing accounts. We do not anticipate any material changes in trends in our interest income for the near-term as a result of continuing low short-term interest rates presently payable by financial institutions.

Interest Expense.Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $179,000 (or 1% of revenues), an increase of approximately $139,000 as compared to approximately $40,000 (or less than 1% of revenues) of interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to indebtedness incurred in connection with the acquisition of AGS.

Income Taxes.Income tax benefit for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $272,000, as compared to $50,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The income tax benefit recognized in the six month period ended June 30, 2012 reflects changes in the timing and amount of the use of net operating loss carryforwards in fiscal 2012 to reduce future taxable income.

Net Income.As a result of the factors above, the net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $245,000 as compared to a net loss of approximately $103,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has, since inception, financed its operations and capital expenditures through the sale of preferred and common stock, seller notes in connection with acquisitions, convertible notes, convertible exchangeable debentures, senior secured loans and the proceeds from the exercise of the warrants related to a convertible exchangeable debenture. The Company's immediate sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and access to an $8.0 million working capital credit facility with Cardinal Bank. The Company's operating liabilities are largely predictable and consist of vendor and payroll obligations.

The Company's operations require substantial working capital to fund the future growth of its business model and moving forward with expanded domestic and international sales and marketing efforts, and planned capital expenditures to support a larger customer base. At June 30, 2012, the Company's net working capital was approximately $1.0 million as compared to approximately $2.4 at December 31, 2011. The reduction in net working capital is due to planned repayment of subordinated debt current maturities due within one year. At June 30, 2012, there were no material commitments for additional acquisitions or capital expenditures, but that could change with the addition of material contract awards in any of our segments. The Company has an available revolving line of credit up to $8.0 million to fund operations and expansion activities. At June 30, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings against the working capital credit facility.

Cash provided by operating activities provides an indication of our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from our recurring business activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash used in operations was approximately $1.2 million, as compared to net cash provided by operations of approximately $0.2 million in the same period last year. Our net cash used in operations position for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was due to an acceleration of mobile carrier payments and some delays in collection of large customer payments due to timing of their processing cycle and the end of the period.

Cash used in investing activities provides an indication of our long term infrastructure investments. We make recurring purchases of property and equipment to replace or enhance our hardware and software applications that support customer operations. We also make investments in software development related to our proprietary telecommunications expense management tools and applications and PKI software certificate credentialing managed services. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash used in investing activities was approximately $159,000 as compared to approximately $505,000 in the same period last year. The decrease in investing activity in the six months ended June 30, 2012 reflects the timing of periodic PKI credentialing software development costs and purchasing decisions to enter into a capital lease arrangements as opposed to financing the current year technology requirements from available cash balances.

Cash used in financing activities provides an indication of our equity and debt capital raises and repayment of those obligations. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash used in financing activities was approximately $500,000 compared to approximately $164,000 in the same period last year. We utilized our line of credit during the first quarter to facilitate short term funding post acquisition at WidePoint Solutions Corp. (which acquired the assets of AGS) while AGS customer contracts were being assigned and collected and repayment of our term loan obligations during the six month period ended June 30, 2012. We were able to repay the line of credit in full with available cash balances.

We believe our current cash position and our $8.0 million working capital credit facility are sufficient to meet planned growth strategies, capital expenditures to improve and increase efficiency of our infrastructures and recurring working capital requirements through 2013. Our business environment is characterized by rapid technological change with periods of high growth and contraction, and is influenced by material events such as mergers and acquisitions that can substantially change our performance and outlook. Future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of revenue growth, if any, the timing and extent of spending for new product and service development, technological changes and market acceptance of the Company's services. However, constant growth and technological change in our market makes it difficult to predict future liquidity requirements with certainty.

Over the long term, the Company must successfully execute its plans to increase . . .
